My issue with this post is that she is using the Absorbacon to learn everyone's name, and it seems, to me, that she is telling everyone. It has been pointed out to me that she runs through the list mentally, but I have also pointed out that it says she is questioning people, like she is communicating with them, and so would still be giving his name out to everyone.

My main issue is that my character is huge on secret identity and doesn't want his name known by people he doesn't trust. If she is doing this list in a way no one can hear her, then problem over. Tony can talk to her on his own and get her to keep quiet about it(Or, as I realized, he would never know she knows his name, so he wouldn't know to do anything about it). But if she's telling everyone, then we need to work something out.

His issue with secret identities is that there's a part of his life he doesn't want random people knowing. His father is a criminal, one he's already had to fight while wearing the cowl. The way he sees it, if anyone knows who he is under the cowl, they could look into him, and finding that his father is a criminal is not hard to do with a little bit of research, and then people might start questioning his resolve, questioning if he is truly a hero or if he's torn down the middle. He knows that he isn't, he knows he's truly devoted to the good side of things, but he doesn't want anyone else questioning him on it, because how is he supposed to prove it? If people know this about him, they might start seeing everything he does as 'trying to hard' or 'attempting to prove his standing' when it's not. He knows where he stands, and he doesn't need or want anyone questioning that.

Her character, regardless of saying it aloud or to your character privately, did it through legal means to obtain your name. As a result, you must take it upon yourself to stop her from saying your name aloud to everyone or mentally to everyone if this is a real problem in RP.

She's doing it mentally, not aloud. The reason why it's confusing is because at one point, I was thinking to have her say it out loud. With her not getting the whole identity thing, she would have said it out loud, however I did remember you being keen on not having his identity revealed when looking at the profile, so I made a quick change to change it with her mentally questioning them, giving the appearance that she is asking them, but not telling everyone's secret.

So she's only thinking to herself?

I agree with witty it a legal post. However so you know even if she was saying things out loud several characters already know his identify. You should worry more about how you would keep people quiet about it.
